CVE-2020-10283 describes a critical vulnerability in the Micro Air Vehicle Link (MAVLink) protocol, specifically affecting dronecode micro_air_vehicle_link implementations. An attacker can force a MAVLink 2.0 system to downgrade to the unauthenticated MAVLink 1.0 protocol by manipulating the version negotiation process. This allows for complete bypass of authentication, enabling unauthorized control and interaction with the autopilot. Rated 9.8 Critical (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, requiring no user interaction or prior privileges, and can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage regarding this CVE.
